Hi – thanks so much for this post. I was curious, how bad were the customs fees? We’re also looking at a US – UK move, plan to use UPak, but I’m worried we’re going to get hit with a massive customs bill to retrieve our goods in London.

In reply to Christina. I also used UPakWeShip for my items to London last November and they were amazing!

Hi! I found your blog on Pinterest and it’s just what I needed. I’m planning on jumping the pond soon and moving my stuff felt like the scariest part! Im really impressed you were able to last without your things for 3 years. I might die. Haha. 😉
Can you tell me about how much it was to ship all your belongings?
Thanks!

In reply to Janice Robertson. Hi Janice. Thank you for reading. I did not bring over a TV because the two that I had were pretty old, so I just gave them away. I think someone commented on my YouTube video about moving a tv, so you might want to check out my video on shipping electronic items. It's on my Expat Chat playlist.

Hi Sunny,
I was curious – did you sell your American TV or keep it? From one of your other blog post, you mention that electronics are expensive in the UK. But I also do not know if a converter will work for our american tv or if the american tv will even work in the UK. Thoughts?

Thanks,
Janice
